Had a great afternoon at home with the girls while Trx took the little ones to a birthday party. We did some cooking, which is always fun and something I don't do nearly enough of these days.
Flo found two recipes she liked in a book she got for Christmas, so we walked out and got the "greedy ments", then spent a couple of hours baking Crunchy Muffins (with white choc and blueberries) and then blueberry pancakes. Delicious!!

Been talking a lot about Lent today - and at church this morning picke dup a whole host of ideas for things to do this year.
We are going to try and "Give Away a Thing a Day".
I have a box ready now and the kids made a label for it. One of us (not necessarily in turns or inorder) will put into the box everyday something they either don't need or want any more, or just want someone else to have. Then we'll donate to charity.
I'm going to take up reading the Book again and try to do a random chapter every day.
Put 2p in a jar every time you turn on a tap.
Try to live on £1.50 a day

We have a whole list with one or two things you could do each day through Lent. I'm sure they are posted all over the net..
Inspiring and thought provoking things.
Last year i also successfully managed to give up coffee and (almost) tea, but I drank bottle dwater by the gallon instead. better for me maybe, but that f*cks up the environment and the global economy much worse! What is wrong with tap water?? We have the best, freshest and cleanest in the world more or less.
I'll do that instead this year. Just coffee though - it wasn't worth going without tea. And we drink fair trade now, so its slightly less of an issue.

Been also looking at 'Random Acts of Kindness'.
